Angel Oracle is also one of the strongest combos in the game

Angel Oracle is pretty much the easy mode in any difficulty.

Pick whatever path you like, as long as you switch to Legend later.

The fuck, why?

Because Legend is based.

Ga<3 is a pedo for disagreeing.

So, I am finally getting around to play this. Which is the best "mythic path"? I mean best content and themes, not just powergaming.

So, I am finally getting around to play this. Which is the best "mythic path"? I mean best content and themes, not just powergaming.

The amount of individual content provided for each mythic path is pretty insane. Of the few I dipped into, personally I enjoyed the magical mystery ride offered by Azata the most.
Coincidentally, according to the official survey, Azata is also the most popular of the paths among fellow Codexians overall.

No doubt it's very strong. But IMO it has strong competition from Angel Cleric (domains with Domain Zealot) or Angel Shamans (Elemental Barrages and/or sneak attacks - potentially with Vital Strike, Rowdy style).

Demon is supposed to have 2nd best content, after angel. Of course, he can use his powers a little sparsely. Though his at will teleport works well with Vital Strike.

Whoever decided to gate Demonic Rage number of uses behind mythic rank 6 and 9 is a goddamn retard. Why yes i would love to use my only good mythic power during the last 20% of the game, thanks!

Why not make it 1 per mythic? So when you get it you will have 3 exactly like it is now, but you will actually play with ~5 uses for majority of the game. Instead of the last ~10% of it.

Spoiler

Fact - Wide Sweep charges are better than sex. Hard difficulty unbuffed level 7 damage btw.

No matter how shit the writing and other things are in this game, mounted combat is my favorite thing ever in RPG. Not being able to be a proper mounted knight in every game seems idiotic after so many decades.

 

[Haplo]

That's cool. But whenever I think of scythes, I feel kinda forced to the Trickster path - in order to compensate for the crit rate of these weapons.

Not that that is a bad thing - and of course a Trickster is the prime candidate for Legend end game.

Do they still forcibly dismount you in almost every cut scene? That ended my cavalier run early on.

Beta patch is still a bit of a mess, so I suspect the new DLC will be too.

 

[Haplo]

Forceful dismounting doesn't happen much. I remember some companion quest (with Seelah maybe?), where it happened, and... ?

 

[RunningWolf]

I feel like the Cavalier is the only class where its not needed. The damage is built in so they work well with all paths. I doubt anything survives if you have a pounce and brown-fur. Another reason why i like the class. Not tied to mythic or weapon choice.

Well, Cavalier isn't even a particularly good mounted class.
At least until level 20.

 

[RunningWolf]

By far the strongest pure class I've played on Hard. Nothing is stronger early due to doubecharge "feature" in rtwp. And early is where it matters because you have no tools or mythic bullshit.
Whats the point of "better" classes if you practically soloing all encounters already.

Barbarian

Barbarian feels anemic. Blood rager is where is at. Though I also heard both rages stack, so maybe take a level of instinctual warrior?

 

[Cryomancer]

Barbarian

Blood rager is where is at.

Blood rager is an abomination. Mixing Barbarian and Sorcerer in a single class... Call me purist, but imo barbarians needs to have negative opinions towards sorcery. If is a hatred or merely distrust or seeing it as a tool for weaklings, then is up to the barbarian and his tribe in question. Is like attempting to mix a paladin with a dread necromancer.

 

[Yosharian]

What a load of shite you just wrote

 

[LannTheStupid]

I am sorry, but have you played through the story of Regongar? And why exactly he (and not only he) were born as they were? They are barbarians, I'd like to remind you.

Now, wizards - not sorcerers - might be another matter.

 

[LannTheStupid]

Interesting.

I've just noticed that Count Daeran has different phrases depending on whether the party looted his stores or not.

Also, Hilor the Pathfinder has something to say about Finnean the Pathfinder.

The entire collection of weird nonsensical mixed classes is both stupid and pointless, but that's PF for you.

DLC HYPE

 

[Salvo]

Is there any footage of the DLC yet? Is it worth a replay or should I wait for gold edition

The change of the DLC release day

Inevitable Excess will be released on the 3rd of March

Crusaders!

We’ve been excited to share with you our new DLC Inevitable Excess for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and judging by the feedback we got, you are excited for this DLC as well. After all, who wouldn’t want to continue the adventures of a high-level party with incredible powers and face new monsters and threats?

However, after we ran a number of internal tests, we realized that the experience you would get from this new adventure was not as mythic as we wanted it to be. We wanted you to feel great and powerful, but also face the foes that would be tricky and challenging enough. But some of the new battle encounters we designed didn’t convey our intentions properly, and we felt like the new enemies and their mechanical features needed more balancing. And so, with a heavy heart, we have to admit that we need additional time before we can let you play this DLC.

Inevitable Excess will be released on the 3rd of March instead of tomorrow. We apologize for the inevitable delay, and hope that you will love the DLC after our team and the denizens of Axis give it their special treatment! Meanwhile, we would like you to meet Valmallos. Those of you who are well-versed in the Pathfinder lore already know him as the keeper of magic, who dwells on the plane of Axis, where your travels will take you in this DLC.

Valmallos is one of the inevitables, mechanical aeons, who were created by axiomites a long time ago to oversee the laws of the universe, and this one is particularly concerned by the threat the Worldwound possesses to the laws of magic. But what part will you play in his plans? You will find out on the 3rd of March. And may your journey be mythic and fun!

To arms!

 

[Jorus]

Damn I was counting on playing the DLC while waiting for Warhammer guess it will be the opposite now.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Owlcat confirmed as outsourcing labor from Poland.

Barbarian

Just pick arcane primalist and ditch those useless arcane bloodrages for rage powers, follow the Deadly Stance line of powers + the obligatory beast totem and you will want for nothing, neither AC nor damage nor crit chance. Straight Barbarian is obsolete.

Suspected as much, seeing as patch 1.2 is causing all sorts of jank. Them releasing DLC this early, while the base game is still a bit suspect would've been optimistic anyway, to say the least.
